IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE BigMM 2020 Organizing Committee have been monitoring the developing COVID-19 situation. The safety and well-being of all conference participants is our top priority. After studying and evaluating the announcements, guidance, and news released by relevant national departments, we are announcing that the IEEE BigMM 2020, scheduled to be held in-person in New Delhi, India will now be converted into an all-digital conference experience. The dates of the conference will remain the same. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. More details regarding the conference and online registration will be available soon.

Multimedia “big data”, covering from everyone’s experiences to everything happening in the world, have become an important and valuable source for insights and information.

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM) was inaugurated in 2015 in Beijing, China. Subsequent conferences have been held in Taipei, Taiwan (2016), in Laguna Hills, California, USA (2017), Xi’an, China (2018), and in Singapore, Singapore (2019). IEEE BigMM has fully established itself and is on a path to further broaden its audience. Jointly sponsored by the IEEE-TCMC (Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing), IEEE-TCSEM (Technical Committee on Semantic Computing), BigMM aims to establish a community of researchers from academia and industry focusing on the synergetic interactions between multimedia content and big data analytics. It is a world premier forum of leading researchers in the highly active multimedia big data research, development and applications.

Multimedia, as one of the most important and valuable sources for insights and information, is increasingly being considered as big data.” Multimedia big data includes but is not limited to text, image, graphics, audio, video, social, and sensor data that is highly valuable in decision making. It covers from everyone’s experiences to everything happening in the world. As such, multimedia big data is spurring on a tremendous amount of research and development of related technologies and applications.

The focus of the conference series has been established with the belief that it is important to have a full, top-tier conference that focuses specifically on the combination of multimedia and big data research. While research about specific aspects of big data systems is regularly published in the various proceedings and transactions of the information retrieval, operating system, real-time system, and database communities, BigMM aims to cut across these domains in the context of multimedia data types. This provides a unique opportunity to view the intersections and interplay of the various approaches and solutions developed across these domains to deal with multimedia big data types. Furthermore, BigMM provides an avenue for communicating research that addresses both multimedia and big data holistically. The mission of the conference is to share research results and solutions and to identify new issues and directions for future research and development work.

We are thrilled to inform that @VideoKen4All will be helping @IEEEBigMM 2020 with indexing all conference videos. This will strengthen our efforts in spreading the popularity of Multimedia research with as many as researchers in India.

IEEE BigMM invites contributions from undergraduate/graduate researchers for the Student Consortium. Only undergraduate/graduate students currently enrolled at some institute are eligible to submit papers to the undergraduate/graduate consortium, respectively. The student consortium will be an ideal forum for students to present their research work/ideas and receive valuable feedback from experts in the field of Multimedia Big Data. The detailed information is given at http://bigmm2020.org/index.php/calls-for-submission/student-consortium-contributions.

It is a wonderful opportunity for students to publish their BTech/ MTech/ PhD projects at the IEEE conference and get useful feedback from the experts in the area to improve them further.

Kindly share the CFP with other colleagues who may wish to submit papers to IEEE BigMM 2020, which will be held at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, in collaboration with Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi (IIIT-Delhi).

In the first round of paper submission at 6th IEEE BigMM 2020, the acceptance rate was 23%. All regular papers were fairly selected by the strict review process that guaranteed each paper received at least three review reports (average: 3.46 reviews; maximum: 4 reviews). Conflict of interest was also carefully taken into account while assigning the papers for reviews. Thus, we are committed to carefully and fairly reviewing all submitted papers and providing high-quality reviews to authors.

We are also excited to inform you that Prof Ramesh Jain from the University of California, Irvine, USA will deliver a keynote at IEEE BigMM 2020 (http://bigmm2020.org/) in New Delhi, India. Prof Jain does not need any introduction. He is commonly referred to as 'Father of Multimedia Computing'. We expect to have two more eminent researchers from academia and industry as keynote speakers.

Multimedia is increasingly becoming the “biggest big data”. It is the most important and valuable source for insights and information as it covers everyone’s experiences and is about everything that is happening in the world. As such, multimedia big data is spurring on a tremendous amount of research and development of related technologies and applications.

The IEEE International Conference on Multimedia Big Data (BigMM), jointly sponsored by the IEEE-TCMC (Technical Committee on Multimedia Computing) and IEEE-TCSEM (Technical Committee on Semantic Computing), is a world’s premier forum of leading scholars in the highly active multimedia big data research, development and applications. The sixth BigMM conference is jointly hosted by the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) and Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), will be held in JNU, New Delhi from September 24 to 26 in 2020.

The conference aims to bring together researchers from different areas and solicits high-quality original research papers relevant in any aspect of multimedia big data but not limited to the following broad themes:

Full Papers: 8 pages Short Papers: 4 pages Industry Papers: 8 pages Student Consortium Papers: 4 pages Demonstration Papers: 4 pages Multimedia Grand Challenge Papers: 4 pages Workshops Papers: 8 pages Note: The above-mentioned page limits are a maximum number of pages in a 2-column IEEE format excluding references. The authors will be given a maximum of 2 additional pages for references. IEEE BigMM 2020 will showcase high quality oral and poster presentations for regular and workshop papers as well as technical demo and grand challenge solution sessions. The review will be done by at least three reviewers. Best papers, posters, technical demos, and multimedia grand challenge solutions will be awarded at the conference. All papers in this conference will be included in the IEEExplore and indexed by EI. IMPORTANT DATES
